then that's not encryption ... if it has a back door....



I'm not talking about a backdoor. I am talking about it being a part of the actual system design.

You could imagine it as every chat having additional participant which is a person who has a valid warrant. There is nothing secretive about this, nor is it bypassing the cryptographic system somehow. If I send you an encrypted message, is it a backdoor if you are able to decrypt it? No, because that's how it's indented to work.


if the service can get your conversations then it is a backdoor simple...
